Black Knight 2000 is a 1989 pinball game designed by Steve Ritchie (who also provides the Knight's voice) and released by Williams Electronics. The game is the sequel to the 1980 pinball machine Black Knight. It was advertised with the slogan "He rides again." and features a black knight theme.[1] 30 years later, Ritchie would design a third game in the series for Stern Pinball, titled Black Knight: Sword of Rage.[2]
